13、e he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration.

No good salesman brings out such a substitute bluntly; he does so with skill and polish. I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir

16、, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned. Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on. Now how does a woman go about buying

17、clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way.Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is onlyhaving a look around.

24、Passage One【参考译文】人们对于休闲娱乐的品位大相径庭。在英国怀特岛最近举办的一次流行音乐节上，青少年们 成群结队地去听他们最喜爱的歌手和音乐家演唱。56他们只买得起去音乐节的单程火车票，甚至不惜露宿街头，在英国那种气候条件下，即便是在八月份，他 们的这种行为也是非常危险的。他们像沙丁鱼一样在音乐节上挤了四天。音乐节现场有数不清的盗贼，一伙暴徒几次三番试图捣乱，而且到处都是警察。57音 乐节结束后，许多年轻歌迷发现自己身无分文，想要回家都很困难。大多数人都会认为这种情形简直像噩梦一样叫人不爽，但是歌迷们似乎仍乐在其中。 58即便是在英国这样拥挤的国家，也有一大片一大片未遭破坏的乡村地

25、区，在那里，有着更多传统品位的人们可以寻求安静以及他们在同大自然接触过程中 产生的自由感。特别是在国家级公园所在的地区，房产和工业的现代发展受到严格限制。游客可以步行几英里，游览极度迷人而又十分原始的风景，以及大量历史和 科学景点。59一些海滨县城修建了公路；这些公路沿着悬崖峭壁一直延伸，而这些峭壁则紧挨着大西洋或英吉利海峡。在内陆还有另一条公路，沿国北部的山 脉修成，被称作奔宁公路。在这里，远途旅行者和热爱大自然的人能够收获不少乐趣一而不会有被大批其他游人打搅的感觉。国家级公园是为造福公众 而修建的，然而，很少有人能够充分利用这一资源。60现下最为常见的事情就是，全家人一起开车去一个美丽的景

26、点，将车停在路边的停车带。他们全生野餐 篮、折叠式桌椅、一把水壶和一台便携式火炉，然后在自己车的附近安顿下来，开始一顿野餐。显然，他们对娱乐的观点是呼吸新鲜空气，身处乡间，不用行走一步 就能欣赏美景，听闻乡村之声。他们似乎很喜欢用耳朵和鼻子去感受乡问的车马交通。56C定位：根据题干信息词risky可将答案定位到第一段第三句。解析：该句提到：“他们(青少年们)只买得起去音乐节的单程火车票，甚至不惜露宿街头，在英国那种气候条件下，即便是在八月份，他们的这种行为也是非常危险的。”故选C。57D定位：根据题干信息atthe end ofthefestival可将答案定位到第一段倒数第二句。解析：该句提

29、工具和食物在自己的汽车旁野餐，故选A。Passage Two【参考译文】买衣服对男人和女人来说是不同的经历。61男人去购物是因为他需要某些东西。他的 目的是既定的，而且提前就做好了决定。他知道自己需要什么，而他的目的就是找到那个东西并买下来，价格倒在其次。65男人都是直接走进商店，询问店员 自己想要买的东西。如果店里有货，销售员能及时找到，而且马上就能试穿或试用，这一切顺利的话，整个交易一般在五分钟之内就可以完成。虽然几乎没什么言语 交谈，但是买卖双方各自都满意。62对于男人来说，如果商店没有他想买的东西或者羞不完全符合他心里的条件，可能会引发一些小问题。在那 种情况下，导购就要像自己的职业名

30、称(导“购”)所暗示的那样，尝试卖给顾客别的东西：他把跟顾客要求最接近的东西推荐给他。优秀的导购都不会贸然向顾客 推荐替代品，他会花一番心思和技巧。比如，他会说：“先生，我知道这件上衣不是您想要的样式，但您能否试一下，看看大小合不合适。它的颜色刚好符合您的要 求。”63对于这种情况，男人很少会买账，他们一般都会说：“也许衣服的颜色和大小都合适，但要是让我试穿的话：既浪费了你的时间，也浪费了我的。” 现在来看一下女人买衣服的过程是怎样的呢?每个环节差不多都和男人相反。女人购物通常都不是因为有什么需求。她从来都没完全决定自己想要买什么，只是 “四处看看”。64女人总是肯听他人的劝说，她重视女店员的话，甚至是同伴的话。她会什么都试窒一下。在她内心深处，她要找的衣服，是所查人都认为适 合她的。与很多笑话里讲的不同，很多女人在买衣服的时候还是精打细算的。她们总是在寻找意外的超值商品。65面对一屋子衣服，她们也许很容易就花上一 个小时，一排排浏览，来来回回乐此不疲；她们会不时地折返脚步，直到发现自己想试穿的衣服。这是个累人的过程，但是很显然，她们很享受这个过程。因此大部 分服装店都为那些等待的丈夫提供座
